Quantitative characters vary in a population along a continuum. How do such characters differ from the characters investigated b

y Mendel in his experiments on peas?
A. Environment and genes affect quantitative characters, whereas only genes determined the pea characters studied by Mendel.
B. The nature of inheritance of quantitative characters is poorly understood, and Mendel understood the nature of inheritance for the characters he studied in his peas.
C. Quantitative characters are due to polygenic inheritance, the additive effects of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character.
D. A single gene affected all but one of the pea characters studied by Mendel.

Answer:

C. Quantitative characters are due to polygenic inheritance, the additive effects of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character.

Explanation:

Mendel studied the discrete traits that were present in observable contrasting phenotypes. Tall or dwarf stem, purple or white flowers, round or wrinkled pods are some of the examples of discrete traits. Each of these traits is mostly regulated by two alleles of a gene.

On the other hand, a polygenic trait is the one that is regulated by more than one gene. Quantitative traits are polygenic traits. The alleles of all the genes that regulate a quantitative trait have an additive effect on the phenotype. For example, human skin color is a quantitative trait and shows continuous variation. There is a range of human skin color regulated by the sum total of effects of all the alleles of the regulatory genes present in an individual.

An individual with "aabbcc" genotype would have very light skin color while an individual with "AABBCC" genotype would have a very dark skin color. The skin color of the intermediate genotype would be in between these two extreme phenotypes.

Is osmosis and isotonic the same
belka [17]

No. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane (semi-permeable) from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution to the point where the two sides reach equilibrium. Isotonic solutions are solutions where the two sides of the membrane are already at equilibrium - so there is no movement of the solvent (like water) - so this is different from osmosis.

How are photosynthesis and respiration related?
malfutka [58]

They have opposite equations

Photosynthesis : carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen + water. A balanced chemical equation for the process can be written as 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Respiration : oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water)

A newspaper published an article about a study in which researchers subjected laboratory gloves to stress. among 230230 vinyl​ g
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The null hypothesis in this case is that the p-value for both the vinyl gloves and the latex gloves will come out to be the same. The alternate hypothesis is that the p value for the vinyl gloves will be greater than that of the latex gloves. If the alternate hypothesis comes out to be true, it will give evidence in support of the claim that vinyl gloves leak out more viruses than latex gloves, and hence, latex gloves are a safer and better choice for use in research.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
